Ut Prosim or "That I May Serve" is an important motto at Virginia Tech. Students are highly encouraged to volunteer and give back to the Blacksburg community.  The picture below is me covered in paint after volunteering at a color run in town as a paint thrower. Some other volunteer activities I have participated in include: Big Event, where students group together and do odd-jobs for Blacksburg residents, Rock the Vote, where I help spread election information and encourage voter participation, and huckleberry trail clean up, where students clean up a nature trail after our football games.
